Who this course is for
This course was designed for English teachers who would like to learn how to mark writing pieces written by their students and be able to deliver detailed writing feedback to them.

What to expect from this course
This course will teach teachers how to fully assess a writing piece (levels B2, C1, and C2).
 
The assessment criteria of Cambridge English exams consist of four subscales: content, communicative achievement, organization, and language; each subscale will be fully explored individually. By the end of the course, students will have a complete framework for writing assessment.
​
⚠️ Important!
This is not a writing course nor a course for those who would like to actively practice writing. By the same token, this is not a language development course.
